Really struggling now. Never feel normal.

I'm currently waiting for blood results that were done to see if I have a hormonal imbalance/pcos due to excess hair and mood swings.
I haven't had one day where I feel okay. I feel like my mind is racing constantly and it's so difficult when I've got a toddler to look after. I am managing but I'm really struggling in my head. I have regular periods and had no trouble conceiving. I'm 29. I feel really irritable by little things and I keep feeling like everything is a mess around me no matter how much I tidy and clean. I'm trying to hold it together but it's so difficult.

Hi. Lockdown has brought out the worst in me. I am doing a home hormone test on Tuesday and hoping to find out if my hormones are ok. I've been anemic and vitamin D deficient. I just struggle massively with energy.

I always feel on edge. Worried. Irritated and like my concentration is rubbish. I have two children and I feel my deadline is September. I need to be ok for the routine of school.

I didn't realise there was a home test. I had mine done at the hospital. I'm waiting to have a scan also. I feel slightly better today but I'm so tired and the anxiety about everything being clean is bad. Can't stop cleaning. Hope you feel better soon x

I feel like this but I'm currently pregnant again I started feeling like this about 4 months after my first doc was born. I had therapy to help but I have the odd off day and I've put it down to the pregnancy hormones.
I always feel like I live inside my head too much, constantly over thinking and analysing. Worrying about things that might never happen. Feeling like I will never be good enough.
I didn't realise you could do tests for this. I've been to the doctors plenty of times but the only thing I offered was anti depressants every time (which I turned down everytime.) I hope it gets better for you

I had the same experience numerous times where I was offered anti depressants until I got a good doctor who actually listened and took further steps. Keep going and ask for it. My doctor actually called the other doctors lazy for not investigating it further and promised me she'd look into it more and arranged for the tests to be carried out.
